So is this game going to be Free to play or $60 because even in beta all I am seeing is microtransactions even for basic stuff like characters.

It's gonna be $60 and also have a season pass and also have all kinds of micro transactions.

Is it really a microtransaction if you can't buy them with actual money? All that stuff is using ingame currency and I don't think there are plans to sell that stuff for money.

It's hard to say because they may very well charge for that stuff but obviously they would not enable that during the demo. It could be that all that stuff is and will always be fun bucks only. However it is also eminently possible that you will be able to buy the in-game fun bucks with real money at release.

This is Ubisoft. I honestly have a hard time thinking of anyone more likely to pull something like that.

It's not possible. It's guaranteed. Ubisoft releases full price games with AAA season passes and F2P cosmetic monetization systems bolted onto them. That's their thing now.

Public service announcement: As the Nobuchi, your three-light combo looks like it would be your bread and butter, but it's something of a trap. The delay between the first and second attack is so huge that everybody and their mother will easily parry it, or at least block. Instead, its real use is in combination with your Hidden Stance: That way, it will already start at the second attack, cutting much of the delay and allowing you a fairly sure double-hit and bleed.

This is where I'm at, although apparently I can get 20% off through some dumb Ubisoft points I have. With all the cosmetic poo poo you can customize it's pretty set up for a f2p fallback in a year or two after terrible release reviews I guess.

Having a lot of fun with it so far. As a big fighting game guy a lot of the skillset transfers over in terms of mindset. Dueling is super fun and I like that the environment matters, I am a bit poo poo at the team mode though because i always go too far out and get hosed by multiple players.

There is a lot of depth to this combat, its like souls pvp+++.

It'll probably be structured like Siege. You buy the game and can unlock virtually everything (sans a handful of cosmetic items) using currency earned in game, with the option to pay cold hard cash if you're an employed, functioning adult.

Genuinely not surprised that it has such an atrocious amount of connectivity issues, same exact crap happened with the Rainbow Six: Siege beta. Was nigh impossible to play with friends as it kept showing us as offline, or we'd join the group and instantly get disconnected, or - the absolute worst - we'd join a game only to be stuck in loading screen limbo as one of us ended up getting dropped without knowing. So we'd all have to hard restart the game.

Other than that, it's really drat good fun. Definitely not worth the asking price, as I see it getting stale very quickly. But I'd definitely pick it up if it was cheaper. It's nice that there are counters to everything, even grab-spamming Vikings (I'm one of those cunts). But the minute you're ganged up on, it's GG. I've not once won a 2v1, the most I can do is come super close but it's always easy to get zerged and smashed to pieces. Dominion is my least favourite mode, as it's so hectic. It always devolves into one guy getting gangbanged by 4 enemies. Enemies have a really annoying tendency of just running away when you get them to low HP and there's gently caress-all you can do about it because we all run at the same speed.

2v2 is my favourite gamemode. Dominating an enemy and then standing by as you watch your ally battle it out to the death. I always salute my enemy if they beat my ally and then we fight it out. It's so cool when opponents honour this as well. But sometimes, a man's just gotta tag team an enemy to secure that win. It's ridiculously funny as well in 2v2 when you manage to grab and throw an enemy off the map within 2 seconds.

Connectivity sucked for like an hour or so until they rebooted it and fixed it. I've won a few 2v1's already you just need to do advanced training to help understand how to block the other guys. You can choose to stay and get rage and fight em back or block a few dodge out and run, panicking and mashing = you die. If I was using a shield class it would be even easier with the faultless defense as you can easily turtle up to get the rage and whomp everyone for free.

That was very annoying at first, but after a bit I just kinda noticed the icons. It does help to notice even the small classes are still much larger than the creeps or whatever they call em.

hahaha ok the japanese spear class is super super cool, makes me feel like I am actually playing a fighting game. Way longer moves than as far as I know the other classes, has poison and a bunch of dodge stance stuff with pokes at the end. Already had a guy quit out of a duel before it was over with this.

If you ain't using your minimap to spot enemies in Dominion, you're doing it wrong. gently caress trying to guess who the gently caress is who in the clusterfuck that is Point B: this neat trick makes gamers hate him! Click here to find out it's the minimap, it shows enemies and allies as bright blue / orange blips so you can single out lone enemies or back up an ally getting clusterfucked

Were your connectivity problems on PC or PS4? Just got done playing for about 3 hours with friends on PS4, didn't have any problems at all really.

Really pleasantly surprised at how much of a fighting game this is. I thought it was going to be a simpler version of mount and blade combat.
